I’ve suffered for my art.

Actually, I haven’t suffered that much.

My mother recently bought a new camera, and wanted to go out and practice taking pictures with it. I’ve got a Nikon camera, and I love to take photographs. Plus I have a copy of The Crime Buff’s Guide to Outlaw Texas, and there are a lot of interesting folks buried in the Texas State Cemetery, so I thought it might be fun to take some photos there. I figure I’ll dribble these out a few at a time for a while. I’m happy with the way most of them came out, though it was somewhat overcast. If it had been brighter, I would have shot more photos using aperture priority and an f/22 setting, which might have helped the focus some.

There are some folks who give you the feeling that they (or their families) were kind of defensive about being buried in the state cemetery (which, let’s face it, is in the middle of downtown and has limited space). So they feel like they have to list every accomplishment in their life, starting with being elected class president in the sixth grade and going on forever and ever ad infinitum.

Then you get the quiet, modest people.
